    Four practical goals to ensure spiritual growth in the new year.

    Intro: All of us have made New Year’s resolutions, and all us have broken them too. Many times our resolutions are abandoned before the sun goes down on January first. And I believe that very often we make New Year’s resolutions that have little to do with our spiritual well-being and ...read more

    during this Advent season, are we awaiting the birth of Jesus or his second coming?

    Matthew 11:2-11 The Season of Advent can be a very confusing time for some people: • on one hand, we all wait with wide-eyes for the birth of the Christ child • on the other, we are waiting for the second Coming of Jesus at the end of the world.

    What a horrible Saturday Jesus’ disciples had, not understanding that Sunday, and His resurrection, were just ahead!

    Saturday is not the End April 14, 2001 Saturday can be quite an ‘in between day’ for people. As they live their lives, it’s the day between the end of the five-day working week, and Sunday- the real day off. It’s often the day for errands to be done and for catching up on everything that wasn’t ...read more

     | 7,287 views

    We see the power of God healing a human life. We see people who have been touched by the power of God touching others. It’s the story of the lame man who begged by the gate called Beautiful. We see a real example of the power of God to heal.

    Luke has described the early church by saying, “Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles.” (Acts 2:43). In Acts 2 Luke doesn’t give us any indication what those miraculous signs and wonders may have been. But now, when we come ...read more

    When we think about the Ninevites we generally think of two things:

    (1) First we think of Jonah, who was swallowed by a large fish because he refused to obey the Lord’s command to go preach to them. (2) Secondly we think of their ranking with the most wicked people who ever lived on earth. Illus: Once the Ninevites would capture a town they committed ...read more
